Trimedat, tablets 200 mg 30 pcs

Spasmolytic agent.

ATX code: A03AA05

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Trimebutine, acting on the enkephalinergic system of the intestine, is a regulator of its peristalsis. Acting on peripheral δ-, μ- and k-receptors including those located directly on the smooth muscles throughout the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), it regulates motility without affecting the central nervous system. Thus, trimebutine restores normal physiological activity of intestinal muscles in various GI diseases associated with motility disorders.

Normalizing visceral sensitivity, trimebutine provides analgesic effect in abdominal pain syndrome.

Pharmacokinetics

Trimebutin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Maximum concentration (C_max) in blood plasma is reached after 1-2 hours. Bioavailability is 4-6%. Volume of distribution (V_d) is 88 l. The degree of binding to plasma proteins is low – about 5%. Trimebutine penetrates through the placental barrier to a small extent. Trimebutine is biotransformed in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as metabolites (about 70% during the first 24 hours). The elimination half-life (T_1/2) is about 12 hours.

Indications

Postoperative paralytic intestinal obstruction.
